Gahoole said this is the best video explaing the entire situation going on in 40k and I think he and and the woman in the video are right.

No.145192
>>145190Less than the overhype, but still above average and good all around, if you get what I mean.
I think the worst part is that Ciaphas by default is pretty loose with "da rulez" (to the point of very much pushing into heresy) and isn't as brutalist lawfag as the usual narrator / PoV that's signature to the setting, so he's a poor intro into into the setting and seems to be some quippy faggot at times. *But* if you understand what's going on, it's a good read since it's more of a knowledgeable take on how your advanced-level officers see the state of things without the constant filter of heresy and administration (to the point it reads more like a Rogue Trader, but within the Imperium). That, and it's a bit contrived how many factions he "naturally bumps into" (I'd have preferred if it just focused on 1-2, save the gangwars for the gangwar settings like Medusa V), but still.
One thing that is nice is that all his stuff is by the same writer, so there's no additional meddling, and is good standalone as well as part of the setting (but again, a horrible intro-point).
>>145191If you don't mind non-human factions, go Crons first, Trazyn especially is a good read into the state of things from a less soulless point of view (Silent King is a total faggot btw, skip almost all of him), while Orikan works as a peel to him that shows off the somewhat more soulless stuff without outright killing him.
There was a better-but-lesser-known Cron to read into, but it's been years since I read them, the most I remember was that there was one minor oonflct where he attacks a human garrison, he disables a tank but then gets pissy when a subordinate of his deplays some Deathmarks that just end the fight instantly (I think it was Zahndrekh?).

>>145145Why does it feel like over half of all ork novels are made by this proto human
>>145192Not only do I not mind the crons but I also never understood why people are so against them being fleshed out, as far as (almost) everyone in the setting is concerned, they still are faceless terminators.
No.145217
>>145197Partly because it goes against their core concept - it's like if the Nids all of a sudden started having internal monologues. It's just not their schtick.
The first adjective before Necron has almost always been Silent, they're commented on as being eeriely silent at all times, their behavior is uncaring and robotic. Previously, a Cron's behavior could be characterised as "…" at all times (even flayers, while drenched in gore and having the time of their non-lives), but over time as they've been fleshed out, it's gone from the higher-ups having echoes of sapience to them and directing the overall flow of their armies, down to lower-levels even starting to snap back with thoughts and opinions, right down to personal judgement and insubordination. And it's not just a "different direct", it's an opposite one - you can't be both completely silent machines, and autonomous ex-mortal AI. It's no longer a case where Crons are mentally damaged terminators that would see a flower in a barron desolate waste, crawl over on their last power supply and while thinking "…", just smash it with what little energy they have left because of their genuine default disgust toward the concept of life. Instead you'd have some spiel about how obsessed it is about plants growing in the filthy dirt, before questioning what it's doing, before running out of power, happy it didn't destroy the flower because of the folly of their kind yadda yadda crons bad.
Like, Trayzn's no longer the complete lunatic black sheep, but just an oddball for the Overlords / Krypteks. It's fine for factions to have odd-ones-out (Ork Flash Gitz are Refined Dumbass Gentlemen Ork Aristocracy), it's when the odd-ones-out become so popular that the entire faction begins to shift towards them. The Crons are not one of the philosophical factions - prior to being fleshed out (figuratively and narratively), they had about as much sapience as the Nids (only the Pharons / Hive Mind calling shots). Yes, it is cool to learn about the Nid hiveminds and how even they are at odds with each other, or the various genestealer cult conflicts - but that doesn't mean I want an Hormegaunt doing the same thing. Now, it's as if a Carnifex could enter into diplomatic relations with the Imperium (ignoring the language barrier) and outwit their strategy, which is stupid, because all a Necron Lychguard needs to do is walk at them and Gauss them in the face. Crons don't need to think, they just need to be Crons.
That's part of what makes them imposing. They don't care what you think. They don't care about feelings, or pain, or nuance. They just. hate. everything. And they will walk towards you, because they don't need to run. Because you cannot fucking kill what isn't even alive to begin with. And nothing blocks a Gauss shot.
No.145229
>>145217I agree with your entire post.
I also now think that a 300 page novel about an Ork aristocracy going and accomplishing absolutely nothing ending with them fucking off to the edge of the galaxy only to get eatin by nids and be forgotten could make for a fun read.

No.145270
>>145261Pure, distilled, refined sharpened edge. I won't spoil some of the highlights, but they really didn't pull any stops. If the word "straight edge" had a longform definition, it'd be the Night Lords series.
I mean, the Primarch literally has Curse as his surname, that alone sets the tone from the beginning, and that's before he becomes Space Marine Batman / the Lord of the Night. If you want moderate edge / a bit of edge in a grimdark setting, Raven Guard play the part well; all-out-edge is Night Lords, and they don't apologise for any of it.
This ain't Shadow the Hedgehog with an AK47, this isn't Sasuke, Darth Maul, Batman or Sephiroth. It's adult edge in an M-Rated series, that makes the Grimdark setting look like a softball at times.
Basically, Drukfags wanted something to like in HH because it was just after the fall of the Eldar (so no real Deldar yet), and Konrad Kurze was their laurel and more. No.145424
